Indeed a remarkable day at the Chantey Blast - tears mixed in with the beer - a dear, dear friend honored and remembered in a style that would have suited him perfectly. Most notably, Justine and Natalie were there - AND Justine gave a stunning rendition of a sealing song. Barry was with us always as we roamed from song to song, person to person, and memory to memory. At the end, when Don Sineti sang Old Maui, it was as if Stan Hugill had also entered the room - another poignant moment. How much we are a community that truly loves all of this - see you in June! Fair winds, Liam's sister-in-law
